Picture by John Clifton/SWPix.com. Matthew Revis and George Hill at the crease together for Yorkshire this summer.
Matthew Revis believes fellow award-winning all-rounder George Hill “has the world at his feet”.
Revis and Hill both won player-of-the-year awards in 2025 for their contributions in a Yorkshire shirt, the former honoured by the members and the latter by his team-mates.
Revis starred chiefly with the bat and Hill chiefly with the ball and have both been rewarded with England call-ups of differing types.
Revis is currently with the Lions in Australia, shadowing England’s senior Test Match squad as they prepare for the eagerly anticipated Ashes later this month. Hill, unfortunate not to be on that trip himself, will line up for an England side at this weekend’s Hong Kong Sixes event, running from Friday through to Sunday.
The six-a-side, six-overs-per-side competition will see Hill play alongside the likes of captain Joe Denly, Toby Albert, Tom Aspinwall, Ethan Brookes, James Coles and Dan Mousley.
The likes of Dinesh Karthik, Ravi Ashwin, Ben McDermott, AJ Tye and Chris Green will also be in opposition.
Hill has now had England recognitions through this tournament and, earlier this summer, the Lions.
The 24-year-old finished with 51 wickets in this summer’s Rothesay County Championship, the best haul of his emerging career and the fourth best return in the entirety of Division One.
Revis enthused: “Hilly’s someone who does it all for the team. He leaves nothing out on the pitch. He fields at first slip, he bats and with the ball runs in all day and does whatever job’s needed.
“Two or three years ago, he kind of got the dog work with the ball – bowling up to the new ball and stuff like that. But now he has got a harder ball in his hand, you can really see his skill and quality.
“He’s only going to get better and better, and his batting is only got to get better and better as well.
“He’s a phenomenal cricketer who has the world at his feet.”
